Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX6-GT 4-deck Rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller - Graphite

Product Information

Use Jog Cutter to apply a professional sounding scratch effect to the last Hot Cue or playback position by merely moving the jog wheel. The fresh design of the DDJ-FLX6-GT introduces a new look and feel for its full-size jog wheels, which feature a graphite color plus a metallic texture on top and a rubberized coating on the outer ring for improved playability. The DDJ FLX6 also comes complete with FX Pack and Pitch ‘n Time DJ Expansion Packs license keys for Serato DJ Pro, which allows access to these advance features whichever application is selected. The new unit adds support for VirtualDJ (license available separately), while retaining free compatibility with rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro. While there’s no jog wheel adjustment, like that offered by the DDJ-800 and DDJ-1000, the tension setting feels just right – especially if you’re upgrading from the smaller DDJ controllers.

Adding flare to sets and mixing between genres, no matter what the key or BPM of the next track is, can be flawless thanks to the new Merge FX feature. A Sample can be fired upon release to end the track, so all that needs is hitting play on the other deck to introduce the next track into the set.The unit is bus powered and, when connected over USB, it will unlock whichever included software platform you choose. If you’re using Rekordbox DJ there are over 9,000 possible effect and sample patterns – giving you multiple drop options.

So again, I probably need only a 4 deck controller as an interface with Rekordbox and route all the audio with my external audio interface? All you need to do is connect using a USB cable to a connected laptop that is running either of the music software applications, and you are ready to get DJing. Turn on Jog Cutter and simply move the jog wheel to apply a professional-sounding scratch effect to the last Hot Cue or playback position you used on that deck.

The controller allows the DJ creative freedom when selecting and mixing tracks, and takes away the worry of trying to merge two tracks from different backgrounds together seamlessly. And, with the Jog Cutter and Sample Scratch The best thing about this new feature is users who are new to scratching and have never scratched before can take full advantage of it. The VirtualDJ software will also be available to use with the original DDJ-FLX6 (black/white models) by updating the unit to the latest firmware version, and TRAKTOR PRO 3 will be available to use with either model by downloading the mapping files (TSI file). As the Flex is dual platform, the unit offers Dual Deck Controls – making four deck mixing and transitioning simple and effective.

These customisable banks allow you to load build and release FX and samples which can then be used to create a dramatic lift before dropping the next track. There are 10 different scratch patterns and you can switch from one to another by simply moving the playhead position, shown on the jog wheel’s display, to point toward the angle for the scratch you want to use. Energetic and intuitive performances come with ease, thanks to the layout, inclusion of full-sized jog wheels and brand-new Jog Cutter feature on the DDJ FLX6. The new style includes a familiar layout of controls similar to how you would find them on the club-standard CDJ and DJM setups allowing for intuitive performances.Increase the influence of the effect by simply turning the knob — depending on the preset pattern you’ve chosen, the combination of different effects and samples is triggered at the same time. Press it to engage the effect, turn it to alter the speed to add tension to the music, and press the knob again to release the effect. Jog Cutter allows the jog wheel to be moved backwards and forwards to create slick scratching sounds, ensuring the user performs like a pro battle DJ. Originally codenamed DDJ-600 internally at Pioneer DJ, the Flex - as it’s now known – has been developed to enable complex transitions between genres for DJs whose musical taste, or that of the dancefloor, is fluid.
